A Digital Construction seminar is being held in Brussels, Belgium on 22nd February 2018. The event is being co-hosted by the European construction equipment manufacturing association, 3399 CECE. The construction Industry value chain event forms part of the programme for 2018 of EU Industry Days.

This will be the first event of its kind and the workshop has been endorsed by the European Commission as an official event of the 2018 EU Industry Days.

The event is intended to boost knowledge in key areas. Digital changes will be disruptive for a sector of 3 million companies, mainly small to medium enterprises (SMEs), which employ more than 18 million people. Low digitalisation, low productivity, labour and skills shortage are well-documented facts. Through the circular economy and climate change commitments, the construction sector must embrace digital processes in order to do more with less.

From BIM in the design phase to drones for geological surveying, from sensors in technology to big data, from autonomous driving of construction equipment to digital CE Marking of products, technological solutions are very varied.

For this digital transformation to be successful, all actors of the supply chain must be involved and coordinate their actions. The result would be a common approach towards a European digital construction strategy. This work can become an integral part of the Smart Construction industry platform to be launched within the Digitising Industry Initiative.

The event is open and attendance is free. Please register by sending an email to %$Linker: 2 Email <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 link-email [email protected] Register to CECE event false mailto:[email protected] true false%>.

    Europe’s road infrastructure is one of its largest community assets, yet today this asset faces unprecedented challenges. Shortage of public resources for maintenance, inadequate public procurement models for the delivery of infrastructure, coupled with the inevitable impact that the advent of vehicle automation will have on Europe’s infrastructure means that there is a urgent need for Europe’s road sector to work together to find solutions for the future. In this backdrop, and at a time when the UK governm

Grip is provided by the skid resistance properties of the road surface in combination with the friction characteristics of the tyre. This combination is critical for safe driving, and many European countries have investigated the corre
